The Orange County Register has an article about Immigration related policy making (CIR?) that is going on behind the scenes.
http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/nationworld/article_1624369.php
Agreed that this is no New York Times or Washington Post report, but hey some news is better than no news at all, don't you agree?

The text of the article:
Kennedy says immigration bill will happen
California's Assembly Speaker meets with veteran lawmaker as part of Washington lobbying trip.
By DENA BUNIS
The Orange County Register
WASHINGTON Just because a comprehensive immigration bill has not yet been introduced in the Senate that doesn't mean the issue has gotten off the track, Sen. Edward Kennedy said today.
The Massachusetts Democrat said bipartisan negotiations are continuing both among the members of the Judiciary Committee and with the White House. The veteran lawmaker has made the calculation that it's better to get as much agreement on the elements of what is likely to be a complex and controversial bill before it gets introduced than after.
"It is the judgment of those who want the bill that the way we are following is the fastest way of getting the legislation,' said Kennedy. "Obviously we have to consider it on the floor in May or no later than June.''
Kennedy spoke to reporters about the status of an immigration bill this afternoon after a meeting with California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nu�ez and Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines. More than 30 state lawmakers are spending three days in the nation's Capitol, lobbying federal officials on issues ranging from education to the environment to immigration.
"We believe states like California are disproportionately affected by immigration since we have such a large population of undocumented in our state,'' said Nu�ez. "But we also believe these undocumented immigrants, whether they come here legally or not are a contributing factor to California's economy. We have hundreds of thousands of families that are looking forward to a comprehensive solution to immigration reform. "
Villines attended the meeting with Kennedy but skipped the following news conference.
"If is doesn't happen it isn't going to be for a lack of effort,'' said Nu�ez. The Assembly leader plans to meet today with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he said he will make it clear that this is a top priority for state lawmakers.
When asked, Pelosi has said she supports a comprehensive bill but it is not an issue she often mentions when enumerating her top goals. A bipartisan group of House members are working on their own immigration bill, which could be introduced as early as this week.
That measure, as well as any bill Kennedy is a part of, will likely include increased border enforcement, a new guest worker program, and a computerized program to verify employment status and a path to legalization for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants here now.
President Bush supports such a plan despite vocal opposition from members of his own party.
Kennedy has spent months negotiating a broad overhaul bill with his partner thus far in this effort, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. But last week, after it became clear that there were still significant details the two could not agree on, Kennedy said he instead planned to bring back the bill that was voted out of the Judiciary Committee last year.
Also complicating the deal making this year are separate talks among a group of GOP senators and the White House. Several of the Republican senators involved in the talks are known not to be willing to vote for a bill that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Asked whether he is concerned about such a proposal, Kennedy indicated that such a bill wouldn't work.
"If the constituency groups and the stakeholders are not interested in this then the legislation isn't worth the paper it's printed on,'' he said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., recently said she believes the best route to take may be to pass a bill that would affect the five million agricultural workers and do that as a first step towards a broader solution.
But Nu�ez said he doesn't favor such an approach.
Nu�ez said the labor needs of the inner cities in California and around the country wouldn't be taken care of if just agriculture is addressed.
"If you take care of the ags piece I fear it will be a long time before you get comprehensive reform in the other areas,'' Nu�ez said. "Our hope obviously in California, is that we can solve this problem in its entirety and do it in one effort."

Can someone please confirm if "Card Production Ordered" email from USCIS mean my 485 is approved and I have gotten GC ?
I have only got this "Card Production Ordered" email and not an email specifically saying "485 approved". How long does it take after "Card Production Ordered" email to get actual card.
Also if May bulletin is Unavailable it still means that GC;s issued if your date is current in April are valid ? My email came yesterday same day as the new May bulletin ?

Based on my experience, employer can't damage your GC process. H1 is like an offer. Its up to you to join that company or not. You can apply for multiple H1b's at the same time. So even if your employer cancel the H1 it should not affect you. But it may be worth confirming with a lawyer if you are worried.
Hope this helps.

Dear All,
I was doing part -time school in a university and before they wanted to admit me,the university procedures included TB test. I showed positive in skin test and negative in X-ray about 4 months ago.
---
Do this: Go to a USCIS certified doctor for a medical exam. Tell them the facts, similar to what you mention in your post. The doctor will suggest the next step. Most probably a certification that you are under proper medication. You need to tell him that you have been tested before and that it was +ve for TB skin test.
My understanding is that the body's reaction to a second TB test is severe.

FIRE YOUR LAWYER:D
seriously,
you can apply for h1-b for 3 years after i-140 gets approved if you are from oversubscribed countries. in the cover letter to USCIS for the h1 extension, ask them to refer to rule #104 (or something) of USCIS which allows you to file the extension after six years.
do a google search on rule 104 or somebody else can help you out with this
Hello,
My apologies upfront if I am posting this in the wrong thread.
I am currently working on an H1B which expires in Jan 08. My question is regarding H1B extension beyond the 6yr limit. Is it possible to get an extension for my H1B (7.5 yrs completed) even after having filed my I-485 (I was able to file 485 in July of this year)?
As per my lawyer, if for some reason, my EAD renewal next year is delayed or the new card not delivered on time, I will not be allowed to work though I will not be illegal. Keeping this in mind, and also after reading numerous posts online, I got my HR to give the nod for the H1 renewal. My lawyer replied today saying that we cannot get an H1 extension as my 485 is filed and 140 cleared.
I was under the impression that I would be allowed to get the H1B renewed for another year. What are the rules / regulations on this. If someone can pls update me.
Thank you.
Apoorv
My GC status is as follows
I-140 - approved
EAD - approved
AP - approved
FP - completed .

Some lawyers ask for bank statement and w2s and file I 864 with GC to show proof that you can support your dependents(if you have any). Ideally I 864 is only required when you file Family based GC.
Some other lawyers similarly ask for I 134 and bank statement to show that you can support dependents. Again this is NOT REQUIRED.
There is no clarity on what should be done. Each lawyer has his/her own style of filing 485 so if your lawyer asked for it, provide it. If not, don't bother. I know of people filing with and without 864 or 134 and still getting approved.
yeah why bank statment? My attoreny did say anything about tax return either ? are you sureeeeeeeeeeeee?

People,
What does this mean? I am not too strong regarding finances, so asking.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090305/pl_afp/financeeconomyusbankinggovernment
Does it mean there wont be insurance on our bank deposits if this happens?
I forget the site the FDIC lists the trouble banks that may fail. You bank should not be in the list. Even if it is in the list and your account is FDIC insured and account has less than 100K then you will get money from FDIC if bank fails.
If FDIC fails than we all in the US are in trouble. It will total collapse of the system. I dont think it will ever happen but who knows.

I suggest that IV be even concerned about ppl in the pre-application stage like myself. I havent even filed a labor yet as I have no employer (am a PhD student.) I would like IV to take up issues that concern PhD students, for e.g. the current proposals in the PACE bill that appear to exclude current PhD students (as opposed to future "F-4" PhD students) from automatic AOS benefits 1 year after graduation. This is a large constituency who can be mobilized for IV if IV decides to pursuse this. It is actually a very commonsense amendment to PACE that can be included in the bill if the right people are informed about it. I have drafted a very detailed letter and can make it available here.

Yes, only if approved I-140 is not withdrawn or canceled before new I-140 approval.
If you are in AC21 safety net then you can recapture PD (after 180 days of 1-485 filing) even if your initial sponsoring employer withdraws his initial I-140.:o
Veni001 , you are again giving the wrong information. I have just talked with my lawyer about this.
The Pd is yours in any circumstances I 140 revoked or not.(except substitution labour case and fraud case).

The objective of the employment based preference system is to give certain professionals, who are ostensibly more useful to the country, a better shot at the Green card than others. So in the long run, EB2 is a better bet than EB3.
However, given the current situation, it really doesn't matter - if you are born in India, you are in for a long wait in either category.
Your best bet is to first educate yourself about the process, discuss with peers, friends and employers, about the endless wait, and then work with them to bringing about a change in govt. policy and possibly some change in the law.
Im hearing that most of Indian filers filed for EB2 which has lead to EB2 demand outstripping EB3.
So of the two tortoises EB3 might move faster than EB2.
Any comments ?
